' | MlIS volume is primarily intended to supply a working and 
1 practical knowledge of the Norwegian language, for the 
benefit of those who have not the time or the inclination to study 
the grammar, and yet require to use the spoken tongue for pur- 
poses of business or pleasure. With this object in view it supplies 
many vocabularies, carefully selected tot daily use and classified 
according to subject, and a large number of colloquial phrases 
and sentences of a practical character, similarly classified. 
Throughout these sections of the volume the English phonetic 
pronunciation of the Norwegian words is added (in the third 
column) in accordance with Marlborough's system of phonetics 
a system which has grown out of long experience, and is of so 
simple a nature that, by means of it, a stranger to the language, 
who knows English only, can read off the words at a glance, and 
thus easily make himself understood amongst Norwegian-speaking 
people. An outline of the Grammar is added for the use of those 
who wish to make a study of the language. 

For the present edition the scheme of phonetic pronunciation 
has been revised and simplified, and the text has been entirely 
re-written and brought up to date. The Vocabularies have been 
revised and considerably extended ; the Conversations have been 
re-arranged and greatly added to. Many subjects are now included 
for the first time, as Commerce, Law, Health, Motoring, Custom- 
house, Amusements, etc., and.^ostaj Jlaj;es. Lastly, the Grammar 
has been amplified, '.arid form's ia .pemplete outline which will prove 
of great usefulness to the student.* This section is now placed in 
the middle of the vdiume'.m'siej.d ei at thV. beginning, and is an 
appropriate introducticfti ia tha Gonrtfeysafcons. 

The work thus forms a useful and valuable handbook of 
Norwegian for sportsmen, tourists and travellers, commercial 
men, students, and all who desire to enter into communication 
with Norway and the Norwegians.

A similar sound, but shorter, i.e. not dwelt upon, 
when followed by two consonants, as in sand (sa/m) a/t*

Before s and t it is like p ; e.g. krebs (kreps), skabte

D, d ... (deh) as in English d 

Silent in many words after a long vowel, as in blod 
(bloh), and when final after I, n, and r, these con- 
sonants being then pronounced long ; after n in the 
middle of words before s and t, as in landsmand

PRELIMINARY NOTES. 



The Way to Learn. Students are recommended to learn 
the words in the following Vocabularies by heart, repeating them 
aloud with the article attached, aided by the phonetic pronun- 
ciation in the third column. In this way a large number ot 
Norwegian words will be acquired, the gender of the nouns will 
be mastered, the ear familiarized with the sound of the words, 
and the tongue with their expression. The same plan should be 
followed with the phrases and conversations. 

Pronunciation. The student will do well to master the 
pronunciation at the outset. Marlborough's system of phonetics 
is based on the principle of one sign, one sound, and con- 
versely, one sound, one sign. The use and value of each 
phonetic sign adopted are shown on pages 5 to 7, and should be 
carefully noted. Attention is particularly drawn to the use of 
the sign " eu," and of " r " and "A" (italic); also of short 
"66," the thick letter " i," and the diphthong "eri." In the 
third column, also, it will be noticed that the final consonant of 
a word or syllable is sometimes doubled in order to ensure that 
the preceding vowel is pronounced short and sharp; "arr" is 
always to be sounded like arr in carry, slightly drawled that is, 
the vowel sound-lengthened a little. Hyphens are employed in 
the phonetic column solely to facilitate the ready and correct 
pronunciation of the words. 

The Articles. Whilst the Indefinite Article (en for common 
gender, et for neuter) is placed before the Norwegian noun as in 
English, the Definite Article is added to it at the end and forms 
an extra syllable, or at least adds an extra consonant sound to 
the noun. If the noun ends with a consonant, this is doubled 
when the article is added. In the Vocabularies the addition of 
the article and the doubling of the consonant are shown in the 
middle column by means of hyphens. 

Norwegian equivalents. It is necessary to point out that 
in the third part of the book, " Conversational Phrases and 
Sentences," the Norwegian equivalents of the English phrases 
are given in the second column, rather than a literal translation 
of the English words.

ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR. 



The Article. 

The Article in Norwegian varies according to the number and gendei 
of the noun to which it is attached. 

The Indefinite Article is used only in the singular, and is placed before 
the noun ; it has the following forms : Common gender, en ; Neuter, et t 
a, an. Examples : 

Common, en mand, a man ; Neuter, et barn, a child. 

There are two Definite Articles the definite article with Nouns and the 
definite article with Adjectives. 

The definite article with nouns is placed at the end of the noun and 
written with this in one word : Com., en or n ; Neut., et or t ; Plural, both 
genders, ene or ne, the. The n, t and ne are used when the nouns end 
in e. Examples : 

Com. Sing., mand-en, the man ; Plur., mand-ene, the men. 
Neut. Siug.,skib-et, the ship; Plur., skib-ene, the ships. 
The definite article with adjectives is placed before the adjective : Com. 
Sing., den ; Neut. Sing., det (" deh "); Plur., both genders, de (" dee"), the. 
Examples : 

Com. Sing., den store by, the large town; Plur., de store byer. 
Neut. Sing., det hgfie taarn, the high tower ; Plur., de hefie taarn. 
The adjectives in all these cases add the ending e. Words with a short 
vowel and ending with a single consonant double this when adding the 
article or the ending e, as gut, boy, gutten ; grefn, green ; det grtinne tr& t 
the green tree. 

The Noun. 

Gender. The gender of the noun is either Common or Neuter. As no 
rule exists in regard to gender see Vocabularies, where the articles or 
letters c. or n, indicate the gender. 

Number. The indefinite plural form of the noun differs with the 
gender. Nouns of the Common Gender form the plural by adding er to 
the singular form, or r only if ending with a silent e. Examples : 
Gut, boy ; gutter, boys. Konge, king ; konger, kings. 

Some nouns also change the vowel in the plural, as stad, town; stader, 
towns, etc. The two words mand, man, and gaas, goose, form plurals 
by only changing the vowel : mand, men ; gj&s, geese. 

The plural of the nouns of Neuter Gender remains as a rule unchanged 
from the singular form, without adding an ending and without changing 
the vowel except when ending in silent e, when the plural is formed by 
adding r. Examples : hus, house ; hus, houses. 

EXCEPTIONS: Skib, ship; skibe, ships. Blad, leaf; blade, leaves. 
Hjerte, heart ; hjerter, hearts. 

In words ending in el, er, and sometimes en, the e is omitted, ai 
tengsel, longing ; l&ngsler, longings ; aker, field; akrer, fields. 



80 

The definite plural of the noun is formed bv adding ene to the singular 
form, as gut, boy ; gutter, boys ; guttene, the boys. 

EXCEPTIONS : erne is used in some words, as alperne, the Alps ; viking- 
wne, the Vikings; verberne, the verbs; and in nouns with the Indefinite 
plural form of er and change of the vowel ; as bok, book ; baker, books ; 
btikerne, the books ; and also in nouns with the indefinite plural form of 
r, as dame, lady; darner, ladies; damerne, the ladies. 

Cases of Nouns. Nouns have only two cases, Nominative and 
Genitive. The nominative is the ordinary form of the noun, and the 
genitive is formed by adding s to the nominative. In words which end in 
s an apostrophe is put before the genitive form. Examples : Nom., mand, 
man; Gen., mands, man's. Barn, child; barns, child's. Kong Hans, 
King Hans ; kong Hans' s (pr. haftnsehs), King Hans'. 

Adjectives. 

Declensions. Adjectives have two declensions, the Strong and the 
Weak. 

In the strong declension the adjective adds i in the neuter and e in the 
plural. This form is used when the adjective comes after the indefinite 
article. Examples: 

Com., hefi, high. En hefi bakke, a high hill. 
Neut., hefit, Et hefit hus, a high house. 

Plur., hefie. Heiie hus, high houses. 

EXCEPTIONS : Adjectives which end in t, pronounced d, ig, and adjec- 
tives of more than one syllable ending with sk do not add t in the neuter 
form. In adjectives ending with el, en, er, the e is omitted in plural. 

Adjectives ending with a vowel are as a rule not declined. Examples : 
Com., en let kasse, a light box ; et let arbeide, a light job ; 

et rod udseende, a frightened look ; et historisk efieblik, a historic 
et oprigtig menneske, an honest man ; moment ; 

en tro ven, a true friend ; et tro venskap, a true friendship. 

In the weak declension e is added to the adjective in all cases. Thia 
form is used after the definite article of adjectives, and as a rule after 
pronouns, except interrogative and indefinite pronouns. Examples : 
Com., den hefie hest, the high horse. Neut., det hefie hus, the high 

house ; 

de hefie hus, the high houses; dette fremmede barn, this strange 

min gode ven, my good friend ; child. 

en gammel ven, an old friend ; de gamle venner, the old friends. 

Degrees of Comparison. There are three degrees, as in English: 

The Positive, as hefi, high ; ringe, small. 

The Comparative is formed by adding ere (or, in case the adjective ends 
in e, by adding re) to the positive form, as hefiere, higher; ringere t 
smaller. 

The Superlative is formed by adding est or st to the positive form. 

In adjectives ending with -el, -en, -er, the e is omitted, as tapper, brave; 
taprere, braver ; taprest, bravest. 

Adjectives ending with ig, lig, som, have ere in comparative and st in 
superlative, as flittig, diligent; flittigere, more diligent ; flittigst, most 
diligent ; nefisom, economical ; ntfisommere, more economical ; n/fisomst, 
most economical 



81 

A few adjectives change the vowel, in comparative and superlative, at 
star, great ; sttirre, greater ; strtrst, greatest. 

Some adjectives have an irregular comparison, as in English, as 

Pos. Comp. Sup. Pos. Comp. Sup. 



gammel, old ; celdre, celdst 
god, good; bedre, bedst 

ond, bad ; v&rre, vcerst 



liten, little ; mindre, mindst 
meget, much ; mere, west 
mange, many; flere, flest 



The comparative can also be expressed with mere, more, and the 
superlative with mesi, most ; as flittig, diligent ; mere flittig, mest flittig. 

Definite Numeral Adjectives. The Cardinal Numerals have no 
declension, with one exception : en (com.), ett (neut.), one. 

The Ordinal Numerals are used in the weak declension, usually with 
the definite article of adjectives before it, as den femte Dag, the fifth day.

Som, who, which hvem, whom hvis, whose 
som, that, as hvilken c., hvilket n., hvilke pi., which 

hvad, what, that der, who, which, that 

Of the Relative Pronouns som is most used, and relates to persons and 
things in singular and plural, but it cannot follow a preposition. In 
such cases the preposition must be put last, as : Han mptte hr. Smith, 
som han havde bodd hos, He met Mr. Smith, with whom he had lived. 
Hvem relates only to persons. 

Hvilken, hvilket, hvilke, are used in writing, but not in speaking; 
which also is the case with der, but only as subject. 

Hvad, as a relative pronoun, relates as a rule to the word alt (all) or to 
a sentence or part thereof, as : 

Alt, hvad han saa. All that he saw. 

Jeg siger, hvadjeg mener. I say what I mean. 

Indefinite Relative Pronouns.

form, which also is the case with enhver som heist, anybody ; hvem som 
heist, anybody ; hvad som heist, anything. Man can only be used as 
subject. With substantival and adjectival form, En (one) is used in the 
same sense as man.

The Verb. 

The Infinitive mood of the verb has the sign at, to, before it, and the 
?erb gets the ending e to the root, as at rose, to praise ; the root is ros. 

EXCEPTIONS. Verbs which end in a vowe] have not the ending e in 
the infinitive. All terminations of inflexions are added to the root. 

There are two conjugations, the Weak and the Strong. 

In the Weak conjugation the Past is formed by the root and inflexional 
termination. The Strong conjugation forms the Past as a rule by 
changing the vowel and having no inflexional termination ; but if the 
root ends in Id or nd these become in the Past Idt and ndt respectively. 

The plural forms of the verbs are the same as the singular. 

The Auxiliary Verbs skal (shall) and vil (will) help to form the Future, 
and skulde (should), vilde (would) the Conditional tenses. 

Conjugation of the Auxiliary Verbs. 

As the singular and plural forms of the verbs are the same, only the 1st 
person is given. 

Present Infinitive.

Conjugation of the Active Verb. 

Pres. Infin. : at rose, to praise. Past Infin. : at have rost, to have praised. 
Pres. Participle : rosende, praising. Past Participle : rost, praised.

The Present Indicative of the weak and strong verbs is formed by adding 
er to the root, or only r when the root is the same as the infinitive, as jeg 
roser, I praise ; jeg bor : I reside ; jeg ser, I see. 

The Passive Verb. 

The Present and Past Indicative are formed either by adding es to the 
root of the active verb, or by means of the auxiliary verb blive, become, 
and the neuter form of the Past Participle of the principal verb. All 
other tenses are formed in the latter way. 

Blive is conjugated with the auxiliary verb vcere, to be, as follows : 
Present Infinitive : at roses (at blive rost), to be praised, 
Past Infinitive : at vcere blevet rost, to have been praised.

Weak Conjugation. 

The verbs with weak conjugation are divided into three classes, accord- 
ing to the ending they add to the root in the Past and the Past Participle- 
The Past Participle has the same form for common and neuter gender. 
The plural is formed by adding e to the singular. 

CLASS I. 

Past : et. Past Participle : et. 
Example : Infin., at kaste, to throw ; Pres., jeg kaster ; Past, jeg kastet] 

Past Participle, kastet. 

To this class belong the verbs, the root of which ends with b, d, g, as 
ft klcebe, to stick or glue, at bade, to bathe, at klage, to complain ; verbs 



with double consonants, as at skuffe, to shovel, to deceive, at tygge, to 
chew, atkrumme, to bend, at passe, to pass, to fit; verbs with two or more 
consonants, as at hente, to fetch, to bring, at revne, to split, at elske, to

after vowei or diphthong, as at kue, to subdue, at true, to threaten, at

CLASS II. 

Past : dde. Past Participle : dd. 
Example: Infin., at naa, to reach; Pres., jeg naar; Past, jeg naadde\

To this class belong verbs with the root like the Infinitive without the 
ending e, as at saa, to sow, at fri, to woo, at tro, to believe ; also a few 
verbs, the Infinitive form of which in speaking sounds like the root, as 
at lade (pron. " aw lah "), to load, at shade (aw skah), to hurt, at brede 
(aw breh), to unfold, at sprede (aw spreh), to spread, at betyde (aw 
berteu), to indicate, to mean.

ticiple, as at leve, to live (Pres., jeg lever ; Past, jeg levde ; Past Part., 
levet), at hive, to throw, at kltive, to cleave.

root of which enrle in nd or Id add in this case t.

adding for the common gender en, neuter et, and plural both genders ne. 
In compound tenses the neuter form only is used.
